Peachtree (GA) Regional Thread

[KevinB]

Hey guys ... just wanted to start a thread for Peachtree info.

Today at the practice day, only 1 bot knocked off the 10pt ball in autonomous, and only 4 bots hung (that I saw).

We (team #538) would like to give out HUGE thanks for team #34 for hooking us up with a new regulator and team #494 for a backup battery! These guys exemplify Gracious Professionalism!

Also thanks to team #1002 for providing onsite Internet access!

Good luck to all teams!

I am trying to watch the webcast. I went to robotics.nasa.gov and found the "watch it" link for the Peachtree Regional in Duluth, GA. I tried several times throughout the day to connect. I was able to get audio, but no video. One time, when I clicked pause, the video appeared, but paused. I clicked play and it appeared to be playing video and audio with a several minute delay in the video. I heard him say "lets get started here in match 61...", but it was showing the scores from match 59 when the announcer said that.

I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble with the webcast. The one from the Central Florida Regional last week worked fine. Feel free to IM me on AOL. I will try to check this thread again in a little while. Thanks.

there is a delay from the sound to the video of 2 mins if you want to see the regional let it play without video for aprox 2 mins and then you will get the video

Won't the audio always be 2 minutes ahead of the video then? I have enough trouble telling whats going on with the poor quality, I at least need the audio with it.

If you know those teams' numbers, you can find their status at www.soap108.com (http://www.soap108.com) by typing in their numbers in the top, left corner.

Here is a snapshot of the current rankings, as shown by our scouting system.

These aren't official, but they're $@#$@#$@#$@# near perfect.

I tried to use soap but there is no data on the site. I also tried using the datadevelopment page but it is not wanting to load. i will try again in the morning.

Does FIRST make available any VHS or DVD of the Regional Events, including the qualifying rounds?

If not, does any team have a good copy of the webcast from the Peachtree Regional?

I found the archives on the NASA site, but it looks like they only store the Elimination & Championship rounds.

I too had troubles watching the PeachTree Regional (all audio, and no video). From the sounds of it, the announcer had a lot of enthusiasm, and spirit. It would have been better if there was all video, and no audio. Well it was a good thing that the UTC Regional webcast was working, if not, then I would not have gotten my weekend fix of robotics regional competitions; which is a very bad thing. :)
